For Selective Mutism Awareness Month, we’re sharing words directly from parents and individuals in the SM community. 💛

One reminder we hope every family carries with them: the small steps matter.

A raised hand. A quiet word. A smile. A moment of bravery that may seem small to someone else can feel enormous to a child with selective mutism.

Celebrate the progress, meet them where they are, and remember that every step forward deserves to be recognized. 🦋

What’s one thing you would tell another parent or individual navigating selective mutism? Share it below.

Meet Ramsey. 💛

Ramsey was diagnosed with selective mutism at age 5. Since then, he’s worked hard to build confidence using his brave voice.

Now 9, he’s involved in piano, Ninja Warrior Club, basketball, and even has his own YouTube channel, Ramsey Plays.

We’re so proud of the progress he’s made and grateful he shared his SM journey with us. 💛

Your voice matters. 💙

SMA is inviting members of the Selective Mutism community to share their experiences, insights, strategies, and reflections to help educate and support others.

We’d love to hear from parents and caregivers, adults with SM, and children with SM with a parent’s help and signed consent.

Your story could help another family feel understood, supported, and a little less alone.

Submitted contributions may be shared across SMA’s social media, website, or video platforms.

Ready to share your voice? Use the form linked in our bio to submit your contribution.

Small steps can be big acts of courage. 💛

For Selective Mutism Awareness Month, we’re sharing our October 2026 Courage Calendar with a new challenge for each day of the month.

These prompts are meant to encourage gentle opportunities for communication, connection, and confidence-building, but courage looks different for everyone. Feel free to modify a challenge, repeat one that feels helpful, or adjust each activity to meet your individual goals.

There’s no need to complete every square. Celebrate the moments that feel meaningful to you. 🧡

Save the calendar and follow along with us throughout October!

This season can be a gentle reminder to slow down, notice the small wins, and offer yourself the same patience and care you so freely give to others.

For individuals with selective mutism and the families supporting them, progress doesn’t always look loud or obvious. Sometimes it’s one brave moment, one small step, or simply showing up.

Give yourself credit for how far you’ve come. 🍁
